      If you aren't "politically correct", it doesn't matter. Plus, RC has a point that Appert is a good public speaker and can sell anything to anyone. What this no-spin zone notes, though, is by bringing attention to that when asked about why we are disappointed with Appert, he is dodging the issue we have, which is specifically his ability to get the players not only fired up for every game, but to make adjustments during a game if Plan A isn't working.

        Such a martyr you are.
        Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

            ok, now that everyone's here, and said their piece, how does the the sub-standard culture get fixed? One 2nd place finish in the ECAC regular season (no ECAC final fours since 2001-2002!), one random NCAA bid, and the two top talents abandoning the program before they were ready shouldn't be the measuring stick for success.

            Since RPI last showed up in an ECAC final four, other teams have appeared at a final four:

            Cornell 8
            Colgate 6
            Dartmouth 6
            Harvard 6
            Brown 3
            SLU 3
            Union 3
            Yale 3
            Princeton 2
            Quinnipiac 2
            Clarkson 2
            Vermont 1

            Since Seth's arrival, RPI is the only team to NOT make a final four appearance - in that span other ECAC teams have appeared:

            Cornell 5
            Colgate 3
            Dartmouth 3
            SLU 3
            Union 3
            Yale 3
            Brown 2
            Harvard 2
            Princeton 2
            Quinnipiac 2
            Clarkson 1

            Is this acceptable?

              No. It's also not acceptable that the totals aren't a multiple of 4. Someone was cheating.

That is the point these are kids with raw talent and some have a huge upside and we find out some don't. 2 examples Chace Polacek he was stumbled upon when we recruited Bryan Brutlag I don"t know if anyone else was interested in him or if he was even on scholarship in the beginning but SA whom some here think they know more than him saw something and developed Him into a prolific scorer...now fast forward to Ryan Haggerty a much more visable recruit but as a fast skater and a hard player lets face it his last year on the USNDT in the USHL I believe he scored a grand total of 7 goals and was primaraly used on a checking/energy line and on the PK at RPI SA saw something and this year gave him the opportunity to shine he played on the first line the power play and double shifted in most if not all close games without that 28 goals are not possible. Its scary to think what his senior year would have been but He seized the opportunity to take the next step as a 21 year old that opportunity was not going to be there forever so he did the right thing and we all wish him all the luck in the world. so who is the next big thing who knows but aI have a couple candidates. Mike Zelewski has a huge upside and is already a legit big time D1 player will he takke the next step, I certainly believe Bubela has a huge up side and suspect he had some sort of nagging injury that led to a somewhat indiffernt year but he certainly has talent and Mark Miller kind of reminds me of a young Haggerty who knows but the talent is there we have a good class coming in. So I for one am looking for forward to next year SA is not going anywhere so we all need to get off our high horse and get back to talking about our recruits and who needs to step up and that stuff because accussing the coach of not knowing how to recruit,not developing players and my favorite not making adjustments is just silly 99.9% of the posters on this board wouldn"t know what an on ice adjustment looked like if they got crotch chopped with one. If we have an issue its with consistant effort the coach has said it a 1000 times to the point peaple on this board make fun of him(Engineer Hockey that is coach speak for effort without calling them out in public) but he doesn't run away from it and takes responsibility for it so thats on him but its on them too ! Lets move on !!!!!!!!!!!

                    • Re: RPI Offseason Thread: 7 Months of Drivel

                      A year ago, there were posts all over this thread calling for RPI to offer Seth Appert whatever he wanted in the way of a contract extension so that he wouldn't leave and take the Denver job.

                      Now there are posts all over this thread calling for RPI to fire Appert, and never mind the fact that his contract runs through the rest of the decade because RPI gave him what he wanted in the way of a contract extension last year.

                      Would you believe that the difference between last year's record and this year's record is three goals?

                      If RPI had scored one more goal (or allowed one fewer goal) in regulation time in the Nov. 8 game against Cornell, the Dec. 13 game against Denver, and the Feb. 7 game against Yale, they would have had three more wins, two less losses, and one less tie. Instead of 15-16-6, their record would have been 18-14-5 - precisely the same as last year's.

                      Three goals - the difference between a program clearly on the upswing (which is what some considered RPI to be last year) and a program mired in the depths of a losing culture (which is what some consider RPI to be now).

                        Has anyone seen the league has Rick "Mongo" Benett up for the Tim Taylor award? Must be nice to strike a student athlete and get an award for top coach.
